Who says I can’t get stoned?
Turn off the lights and the telephone
Me in my house alone
Who says I can’t get stoned?
Who says I can’t be free?
From all of the things that I used to be
Re-write my history
Who says I can’t be free?
It’s been a long night in New York City
It’s been a long night in Baton Rouge
I don’t remember you looking any better
Then again I don’t remember you
Who says I can’t get stoned?
Call up a girl that I used to know
Fake love for an hour or so
Who says I can’t get stoned?
Who says I can’t take time?
Meet all the girls on the county line
Wait on fate to send a sign
Who says I can’t take time?
It’s been a long night in New York City
It’s been a long night in Austin too
I don’t remember you looking any better
Well then again I don’t remember you
Who says I can’t get stoned?
Plan a trip to Japan alone
Doesn’t matter if I even go
Who says I can’t get stoned?
It’s been a long night in New York City
It’s been a long time since 22
I don’t remember you looking any better
Then again I don’t remember,
don't remember you
Turn off the lights and the telephone
Me in my house alone
Who says I can’t get stoned?
Who says I can’t be free?
From all of the things that I used to be
Re-write my history
Who says I can’t be free?
It’s been a long night in New York City
It’s been a long night in Baton Rouge
I don’t remember you looking any better
Then again I don’t remember you
Who says I can’t get stoned?
Call up a girl that I used to know
Fake love for an hour or so
Who says I can’t get stoned?
Who says I can’t take time?
Meet all the girls on the county line
Wait on fate to send a sign
Who says I can’t take time?
It’s been a long night in New York City
It’s been a long night in Austin too
I don’t remember you looking any better
Well then again I don’t remember you
Who says I can’t get stoned?
Plan a trip to Japan alone
Doesn’t matter if I even go
Who says I can’t get stoned?
It’s been a long night in New York City
It’s been a long time since 22
I don’t remember you looking any better
Then again I don’t remember,
don't remember you
So, yeah, song pretty much says it.
But really, who the fuck says so?
Maybe it'll dissappoint you.
Maybe my mum would disown me (actually that's not a maybe, it's definite).
Maybe my dad would be upset but understanding. More upset I didn't go through him.
Maybe my friends would call me an idiot.
Maybe people would say it'd fuck up my life.
But maybe, just maybe, it would be a chance.
A chance to have a break for a few hours.
A chance to be carefree.
A chance to forget about the messes in my head for a little bit and have fun.
A chance to just space out.
A chance to have no worries.
And getting stoned, that would give you no worries for a while.
So they're pretty much telling us all the way to life is to be a stoner.
So why not.
Why not just try once or twice, to just get away?
Why not give yourself that chance to be free for an amount of time?
So really. I may lose people if I do one day, but that's their problem.
If they can't deal with it and support my decisions in life, then they don't belong in it.
